Lush Haul








I recently went shopping for a new face moisturiser and face wash, as my clinique 3 step system had run out. Clinique is so expensive in Australia, so I decided I'll put off buying that for a little while and go to Lush instead. I bought a new face wash called Herbalism, it's quite good, but the smell...I don't like so much haha. I also bought Enzymion face moisturiser and I love the smell of this, it really does smell fruity :) It works quite well too, I definitely prefer it over Vanishing Cream (another Lush cream I used to use). Lastly I needed a lip scrub product, I had been using my Victorias secret body scrub on my lips every now and then to get rid of the dry skin, but I felt like I needed to use a ip scrub more often and the Victorias secret scrub was a bit too harsh to use a lot, so I bought the vanilla and chocolate lip scrub from lush as well while I was there. It smells amazing and tastes good too ! I don't purposely eat it, some people do, but I prefer to use it as a lip scrub :)

I recently went shopping for some hair products. I've been wanting to buy some volumizing products for my hair as well as try out Argan oil or Moroccan oil. I also bought some dry shampoo, as I was running out. I'll be trying out these products soon, I'll let you know how they go.

New in Dresses








The sun finally came out, so I was able to take a few shots of my new dresses :) I need to find something to wear underneath the purple dress as it is so sheer, hence why that dress isn't in this post. 
Both dresses are from Asos.

Sneak Peak Dresses















So I thought I'd give you guys a sneak peak of the dresses I bought recently. As you can tell by my last image the weather isn't great, no sunshine. So I haven't been able to take photos of myself wearing them outside (which is what I would like to do) so until the weather warms up a bit I thought I'd take a few shots of them on their hangers. The white cheesecloth maxi dress is from Asos, and the Aqua/green Dipped Midi Dress with Cut Out Neck is also from Asos.  
The lavender/purple asymmetrical maxi dress is from inlovewithfashion or LOVE. 
Can't wait to show you guys what they look like on !
P.S. the Asos dresses were sale items.

New Heels






Got my package from asos the other week. I bought two dresses and these heels. I love them. They have a nude patent heel and platform and the rest of the heel is a gold satin fabric :) 
The weather has been so cold lately, hence why there aren't any photos of the dresses I bought, but I shall get around to that soon.
I also made a purchase from LOVE, (First photo). I read Vivaluxury's blog post on this beautiful asymmetrical maxi dress. I went to the website and bought one for myself :) At the time of purchase they had a free shipping deal going on so I was pleased I didn't have to pay for shipping. The only thing I'm not pleased about is that there isn't any lining in the dress ! It's such a sheer fabric but on the website it looked like there was lining sewed into the dress, from what I could see in the images, so when I did receive my dress I was a bit put back. So now I am on a mission to find an underdress or bodycon dress that I can wear underneath it.
